When Disney announced that they would be spearheading their brand new streaming service with an original series based in the Star Wars galaxy, fans were cautiously optimistic about how the show would perform. Star Wars had seen success with TV series in the past, with The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels being fan-favorites, but the one thing that made this series different is that it would be live-action. Up to this point, live-action Star Wars content was largely reserved for the episodic movies, so a live-action series would be uncharted territory. And with the newer Star Wars movies receiving mixed reviews, people were largely unsure of what to expect with The Mandalorian. Luckily for Disney and the fans, The Mandalorian was a massive success after its release, spawning a renewed excitement for the Star Wars franchise and creating some new fans along the way. Now that the long-awaited season two of The Mandalorian has arrived, Star Wars fans are grabbing their plastic lightsabers and brushing up on their lore in anticipation for the newest episodes. But what if you’re a newcomer to the Star Wars galaxy, and you don’t want to be left in the dust of people screeching about Baby Yoda and cryptically whispering, “This is the way”? Well you’re in luck, because we’re here to show you some of the best Mandalorian merch to spice up your life and get you in the Star Wars spirit.

The Child Funko Pop

Plenty of companies have responded to this demand with their own figures, plushies, and statues, and famed collectible company Funko has been producing different Baby Yoda Pop figures ever since season one aired its final episode. At this point there’s been close to ten different Funko Pops that feature the Child, each of them more adorable than the last. There’s nothing like the original one though, and Funko really knocked it out of the park with this figure. With his oversized eyes and ears, this Funko Pop is the cutest way to decorate your desk or add some flair to a bookshelf.
